These circles are damn accurate, and you can see that whatever your depth is, they will not shrink as they should, meaning there are all Supermen seated in the warships on their hydrophones who will hear you wether you are at 25m or 180m at slow speed. AI flaw in SH5

My unusual tactic with many escorts is now: Go at full speed in one direction for some time, so they detect you, then make a 60° direction change and just before you reach your heading, cut off your engines and stay where you are. Usually even when escorts are close they will not detect you if you are about 120-160m deep. Maybe they spot you with sonar if your aspect angle is too bad (watch these red arcs that indicate the enemy sonar, but you need to be not deeper than 70m to see them), but sometimes they don't use sonar, plus at some depth you get a 'non detection bonus' from SH5 AI

All this is very laughable, but with all these mods that's what happens in SH5, you will have to think around the corner and adopt unusual tactics. The enemy AI varies during your patrol, if you find some weak ones you can even escape at full speed submerged. With strong ones, you can get busy for 6 hours real-time in order to escape them (if you succeed).
